Repairing and Maintaining your Audi.

Ah, that wonderful Audi.  Take pride in owning one…you should!  Audis are prized possessions, but like most other luxury cars they have common maintenance issues.  Some of them are unique to Audi but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying them.  Here are some of the most common issues with Audi.

1.  Failure of electrical components
2.  Issues with the ignition coil and spark plugs
3.  Catalytic converters due to carbon build-up
4.  Oil leaks
5.  Loose fuel caps causing low mileage

When to Change the Oil.

If you drive a fine German car, you’ve probably been told that you need an oil change every 3,000 miles.  This is a widely accepted standard when it comes to oil changes, but do you really need to change your engine oil after traveling exactly 3,000 miles?  Recommended oil-change intervals actually vary greatly from one vehicle manufacturer to another.

Years ago, it was a good idea to change your engine oil and oil filter frequently, but because of advances in engine materials and tighter tolerances, as well as the quality of the oil that goes into engines, today most manufacturers recommend intervals of 7,500 miles or more.  Volkswagen and Porsche, for example, recommend oil changes every 10,000 miles.

Keeping your German car in tip-top condition is all that you care about.  You invested in it in the first place because you expect to still be driving it many years from now.  So, keep it humming along by having it maintained at the Denver area’s best…The German Car Shoppe located at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.  Just call ahead at (303) 798-2287.

We’re There in the Clutch.

The clutch is one of the most misunderstood parts of your German Car.  Let’s break it down for you.  The clutch connects the engine to the wheels.  When you step on the clutch it actually disconnects the engine.  At this point, your vehicle can run free and it lets your engine turn at any speed.  We hope that breaks it down for those who did not know.

For a little more detail…a clutch is two metal plates in the engine.  When your car engine is constantly running, a clutch is needed to separate the engine from the drive wheels when you stop the car.  When you press the clutch pedal down the plates come apart separating the engine from the drive wheels allowing you to change gear.

Knowing more about your finely-tuned German-made car can help you understand when something goes wrong.  If and when that happens you turn to us at The German Car Shoppe serving all of the Denver area with repair and maintenance from our location at 5115 Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.  Call us for an appointment at (303) 798-2287.
